Keir Starmer asks Rishi Sunak to apologise over 'lethal chaos' under his watch

Sir Keir Starmer has called on Rishi Sunak to apologise for the “lethal chaos” inflicted on the NHS under the Conservative government.

The Labour leader used a feisty exchange at PMQs to accused the prime minister of seeking to “blame others” for record waiting times for ambulances, emergency and elective care.

“When will he stop the excuses, stop shifting the blame, stop the political games and simply tell us when will he stop the delays and get back to the 18-minute wait?” asked Sir Keir.
